Psalm 66

Ψαλμοί

Psalm 67 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις· ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς τῷ Δαυΐδ.

(67) For the end, a Psalm of David amongst the Hymns. God be merciful to us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us. Pause.

2 Ο ΘΕΟΣ οἰκτειρήσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ εὐλογήσαι ἡμᾶς, ἐπιφάναι τὸ πρόσωπον αὑτοῦ ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς. (διάψαλμα).

In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

3 τοῦ γνῶναι ἐν τῇ γῇ τὴν ὁδόν σου, ἐν πᾶσιν ἔθνεσι τὸ σωτήριόν σου.

That [men] may know your way on the earth, your salvation amongst all nations. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι λαοί, ὁ Θεός, ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι λαοὶ πάντες.

Let the nations, O God, give thanks to you; let all the nations give thanks to you. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 εὐφρανθήτωσαν καὶ ἀγαλλιάσθωσαν ἔθνη, ὅτι κρινεῖς λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι καὶ ἔθνη ἐν τῇ γῇ ὁδηγήσεις. (διάψαλμα).

Let the nations rejoice and exult, for you shall judge the peoples in equity, and shall guide the nations on the earth. Pause. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι λαοί, ὁ Θεός, ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι λαοὶ πάντες.

Let the peoples, O God, give thanks to you; let all the peoples give thanks to you. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 γῆ ἔδωκε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς· εὐλογήσαι ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεός, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν.

The earth has yielded her fruit; let God, our God bless us. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 εὐλογήσαι ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεός, καὶ φοβηθήτωσαν αὐτὸν πάντα τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς.

Let God bless us; and let all the ends of the earth fear him. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)
